Description

Update 31/01/2018
To increase the pressure in order to mature the cheeses it's been added a M5_15mm modified Knob from danid87 and a 23 cm Thread rods instead of the former 11 cm short ones. Former 420 grams cheeses where down to 240 grams.

Update 17/01/2018
Cheese making (fresh type) success but for mature or half matured cheese more pressure might be needed. A solution for this is on the making...

I tried to harden the prints (leaving them one our at 110º C in the oven) and they actually got harder, but the shape got distorted and shrank (PLA).

The project/El proyecto:

This is more of a Frankenprint than a remake but I might do a proper design in the near future.
I had this Lekue Cheese Making Kit with no use at all, and I "upgraded" it to a proper cheese press inspired by 00sufs's
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:723771/#files
It will make small cheeses of near one pound.
PLA printed.

I flattened the tip and printed resized to 0.729 the "Plunger_flat_tip.stl" ...
...and the plunger plate (https://www.thingiverse.com/download:1161917)

Nut knobs are M5's from Modular Mounting System by yyh1002 (great design too) witch I already knew and work great.
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2194278/#files

To attach it all I used 11 cm Spring Toggles from a dollarstore/poundshop before I decided to print nut knobs.

I designed the stand and the press plate, but both need further adjustment.

You need force for inserting the nut at the base, I used a small vise to insert it
(Español)
ACTUALIZACIÓN
El queso tipo fresco sale muy bien, pero para hacer quesos madurados o medio maduros quizá se necesita más presión sobre la prensa. Estoy elaborando una solución para ello...

Intenté endurecer las piezas en el horno (110ºC durante 1 hora) y, aunque salieron mucho más duras, encogen y pierden algo de forma (en PLA).

EL PROYECTO
Más que un remake es un impresión-puzzle pero no descarto rediseñarlo en el futuro.
Tenía este Kit para hacer queso en casa de Lekue por ahí tirado y decidí convertirlo en una prensa de queso de las de verdad después de ver la de 00sufs.
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:723771/#files
Como resultado saldrán quesos de unos 420 gr.
Está impresa en PLA e hice al 79,2% más pequeños el "Plunger_flat_tip.stl"...
... y el "Plunger plate.stl" (https://www.thingiverse.com/download:1161917)

El cubretuercas es una métrica 5 del "Modular Mounting System" de yyh1002, que ya conocía y me gusta mucho como queda.
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2194278/#files

Para fijarlo todo a la base utilicé inicialmente 11 cm Spring Toggles (tornillos para falsos techos) de un todoacien pero luego decidí imprimir los cubretuercas.

Diseñé la base y el plato de prensa, pero ambos necesitan ajustes posteriores.

Se necesita insertar las tuercas en la base, yo uso una pequeña presa.
